## Celtic rise to second after Hibs victory as O'Neill considers extended interim role
Martin O’Neill strengthened Celtic’s campaign revival by masterminding their fourth straight William Hill Premiership win, beating Hibernian away. This success climbs Celtic to the second spot on the table, just behind Hearts, who sit above them only by goal difference.
On the day of the victory, it became known that O’Neill’s role as caretaker manager might extend beyond initial expectations. He said about the possibility of continuing in charge:
> “It’s not something I have decided yet, but the door is open. I want to focus game by game and help the club get back on track."
O’Neill’s leadership since stepping in has brought renewed confidence and momentum to the team after a rocky start to the season. His tactics and management style have been widely praised by players and supporters alike.
The win over Hibernian marked a solid team performance with effective defense and clinical finishing, characteristics that had been missing previously. This positive streak raises hopes that Celtic can mount a challenge for the title after a turbulent few months.
